Can I use my India plug in Hong Kong?
A straight answer for India devices on a Hong Kong trip — plugs, voltage and frequency compared.
No adapter needed
Your Type D plugs fit Hong Kong sockets. Voltage and frequency also match, so there is nothing to adapt.

What the sockets look like
India
Hong Kong
Both countries sit in the same voltage class — 230 V in India and 220 V in Hong Kong — so the voltage is not a problem. Only the socket shape needs solving.
What to pack
- Your Type D and Type M plugs fit Hong Kong sockets — and the voltage matches.
- A second adapter if you travel with a partner — they are cheap and easy to lose.
Nothing to buy. Your plugs fit and the voltage matches, so no adapter or converter is needed for this trip.
